Dreaming...

A dream you dream alone is only a dream. A dream you dream together is reality. John Lennon

"It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better.

"The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes up short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who at best knows the triumph of high achievement; and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory or defeat."

----- Teddy Roosevelt

Who is willing to dream the dream together in order to cause it to become reality? We have united in the dream of saving horse racing and the time has come to begin movement in making that dream real. Many of the ideas on the Facebook page revolve around positive publicity, and using that to inspire and/or persuade management to make positive changes for the betterment of horse racing.

I believe that this idea will carry the day, however the truth is that management either owns or influences all publications that revolve around horse racing. It is plain to see that management is more interested in publicizing their "need" for casino gambling than they are in publicizing anything positive about horse racing. Or doing anything that might attract new players or those currently playing casino/lottery games.

Sure, there are faint attempts, and feigned efforts thrown toward horseplayers that want to play horses anyway, but, there is no real effort to recruit anyone at the scratch-off counter, or seated in a slot palace. With all of the passion of the buttoned-down businessman, management has repeled all persuasion for the promotion of horse racing in favor of active pursuit and investment in casino gaming.

I am able to state that plain truth to you because I won't get fired for doing so. I don't work for management, or the casino gaming agenda. I love horse racing, and prefer to spend my time telling everyone that I can how it is still the best game in town, every town. My dream is to save horse racing by seeing that every casino/lottery player everywhere, knows this also. Together, we can realize all dreams for saving horseracing.

"A Fight to Save Horseracing" could sponsor this blog at a cost of $1 dollar per month per member, and this blog would operate to publicize all of the positives of horse racing to compete with all other games. Across the internet, and across the nation.

Dreamers have a motto, "What if"

What if, the members of "A fight to save horse racing" sponsored this blog?

With their access, commentary, and passing around, it would become the #1 horse racing blog.

What if, this blog featured all of the simple, yet effective ways to play the game of horse racing?

Its popularity would grow, and thousands of players would discover that horse racing is the best game.

What if handle increased because of this?

Management would become anxious to retain this by fixing everything that is wrong with horse racing. This blog would continue as guardian of fan interest.
